POSTCARD FROM ALEXANDRIA,VIRGINIA:DAVID GARRETT CROSSOVER

I went to David Garrett;s concert in Arlington,Virginia.

It was 2.22 and we sat around table 222 in Birchmere,reminding me of my father

who owned a humble piece of land

in Pele Garden,near Pol-e Tajan  in Sari

with this number.

But David Garrett is not from Mazandaran area.

The young ,30 y/o violonist ,"an international sensation",was born in Aachen,Germany 

from a German father and an American balerina mother,

whose maiden name was chosen by Garrett as his own,

He  plays crossover classical and rock symphonies wih his small orchestra

of keyboard,drums and 3 guitars.

His violin sounds good,and you know,as well as Duke Ellington does,

when it sounds good,it is good.

And a young female voice from audience screamed to express her version:

You look so good.

Garrett played Rock classical of Beethowen,Mozart,Bach among others.

also Metalica,Zorba dance and romance

to relieve his anguish of recent break up with his girl friend.

When we took Susie to Metro Station ,in front of soon-to-close-Borders

I was thinking what if I see David Garrett

there with Joshua Bell's baseball hat

and Stradavarius violin.

By then it was dark though

and

even if he was there playing violin without all those electronic amplifiers,

I might  not have reconized him,then spare a dime and pass by.

No matter in Metro or Birchmere or Aachen

Still I think he is good

because he sounds good

-or as Susie said: He is gorgeous-

while  he ties a knot between hard rocks and soft classicals,

not to mention his version of Michael Jackson,drummy metalica

and real romantic recitals.

By the way

if you want to choose a special dish

in GARRETT's show

what would be more relevant than

GRITS with sautee shrimp?

With that delicious music

this was delicious too!

BOWING TO BOW

BOWING TO CROSSOWER

BETWEEN BOMBING ROCKS AND SILENT SYMPHO

BOY IS BOWING

BOWING BOW
